Fiona’s Story

Since becoming foster carers with Fostering First in 2009, Fiona and her husband Kenneth have provided placements to many children and young people of different ages and genders on long term, short-term and respite basis.

The carers are driven to make a positive difference in the lives of the children they care and to ensure they are happy and healthy. Fiona outlines the supports available to carers along with the importance of carer training and its relevance to everyday life.

They gladly share their fostering experience with newer carers within their local fostering group and would always encourage anyone with space in their home and space in their heart to consider becoming a foster carer.
